Well, Khol: The car certainly is a classic.
As to your shots, the second one lacks some isolation from the background. Open the aperture and shoot with shorter shutter-speed. Also either get really down to the ground to get rid of the forest in the background or raise your point-of-view so that only the water shows as background (like in the first shot).
The reflection on the car-body is very nice though on both shots.

Oh yes, that car was really a blast when i first saw it.
And the owner had parked it in a good pose so i shot a few....

Thomas: Thanks for your input. It's really good to hear from someone more experienced.

One problem (i think) with the first picture is that even tho i got a descent background, the picture is somewhat washed out due to the strong light from the water. I should maybe have put a -1/3 EV on that image or something, or i should have shot in RAW (which i stupidly didnt).

The second image is much better. The reflections is just so cool. To bad about the background, i agree with you on that point. The smallest aperture with my lens i think is 5.6 at 72mm. Maybe that would isolate the car even more. I should have stand closer to the car, but i'm a little bit shy and i didnt wanna upset the owner

Gordon: That is a good idea. And if you do, you're free to move this thread to that section.

very nice pix's of a classic car........ the second for me, but my only comment with be to blur the background, which is easy in PP, to make the car separate from the surrounds making it stand out more.......
